You're right. The 'can concurrently run' thing is for LP.INIT:

4.2.2.
LP-Scope Initialization: TDH.SYS.LP.INIT

TDH.SYS.LP.INIT is intended to perform LP-scope, core-scope and
package-scope initialization of the Intel TDX module. It can be called
only after TDH.SYS.INIT completes successfully, and it can run
concurrently on multiple LPs.
